Quick and easy account reconciliation: Travel Card transactions and account balances are viewable in MyTravel and UC San Diego Travel can make a direct payment to your account. When you use MyTravel and include an amount to pay the Travel Card, payment is issued the next business day, and is posted to your account within three business days. Use the card's online statements feature to reconcile your account.

Accident insurance: You receive $500,000 travel accident insurance coverage when you purchase air or rail tickets with the Travel Card.

Lost baggage coverage: You are eligible to receive up to $1,250 in lost baggage coverage for domestic and international travel when you purchase air or rail tickets with the Travel Card. This coverage is secondary to carrier indemnity coverage.

Prompt payment and late fees: Card charges are due at 30 days.

As a cardholder, you are responsible for prompt payment, and any late fee assessed on past due amount.

Use the Travel Card prepayment option or the MyTravel trip claim to generate payment to the traveler's Travel Card.

If you are unable to pay timely, due to unavoidable circumstances, payment made between 30 and 45 days is penalty-free only when there is no previous balance due.

Note: You can claim late fees as a miscellaneous expense if the fees are due to campus departmental error. Be sure to check the fund source, and ask your campus department to verify that the expense is allowable.
